Revenge

The passage on page 69 begging "Ask me not!" ending "never the less he is mine"
I like this quote because of its relation to life and human nature. This quote shows Chillingworth's hunger towards her unfaithful wife's accomplice. Chillingworth desires nothing more then to find the man who had wronged both him and his wife. He demands his wife tell him the name of the man yet she refuses. this statement by Chillingworth, "Believe me, Hester, there are few things-wether in the outward world,or ,to a certain depth, in invisible shpere of thought-few things hidden from a man who devotes himself earnestly and unreservedly to the solution of a mystery" reachs down into the through core of the revenge seeking heart. When a man is fueled by a hatred of passion he will regardlessly and fully sacrafice his sheer exsistence to extract his revenge. Chillingworth states that no matter what she does he will discovered the identity of this foul crimson of a man. This shows how revenge though may not be the most effective way of motivation is the most powerful motivater of the human soul. Chillingworth will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, he is blinded to it. He no longer holds any other ambitions, or emotions, he need not rest nor sleep, only that fire down in his heart to compell him forward. Nothing in this world will compell and drive a man like the torment and hatred spawned by the desire of revenge
